When did you realize that you'll never do anything special or make a difference in the world?

I still hear fools talking about wanting to make a difference in the world or wanting to do something great, but usually once you're a few years after moving out on your own and realty hits: bills coming none stop, student loans, horrible low-paying jobs, failed relationships. You just get to a point were surviving is the goal. And one day living comfortably is the dream.

Does life just beat dreams out of people? :to:

You have to understand you're probably not going to change the world on some grand level, but you change it every single day by the positive things you do for people, or the negative things you do.

Our actions have a ripple effect, not everyone is going to be John Lennon or Tupac, but the little things you do make the world a better or worse place to live in

OP has self esteem issues. Who the fukk affects the world that is trying to affect the world? You think Steve Jobs was trying to affect the world or turn a profit when he started with the IPAD and those G4 computers? Think Pac was trying to reach the world or sell some records? Think Jordan was trying to inspire people or get money selling sneakers?

If you can impact 1 person positively, then you've made a difference in the world

Sounds like the same fairytale bs they told us in grade school. You can be and do whatever you put your mind to. :stopitslime:

Should be a crime to tell a kid he can be whatever their heart desire, without telling them all of the hurdles, racism, scam, prejudices, discrimination and hate they're going to face and still never make.

i thought you were 6 certs 6 figures etc. beloved

I am bruh. I'm from the project, I've never had big aspirations or dreams. All I ever wanted was a nice car and a pretty girl. Been did that. With my low expectations growing, I feel truly feel like an overachiever.

The problem is that you've been conditioned to dream and fantasize about shyt without taking any action. People have all sorts of 'ambitions' but are not prepared to put in the necessary work and make the necessary sacrifices that it entails.

Exactly. They tell kids all this fairytale shyt without telling them how much hell and hard work you have to do.

Not at all bruh. I grew up poor in the projects here in Louisiana. I grew up with very low expectations for my life. I've never dreamed big, just worked smartly and tried to stay out of trouble. I surpassed my low life expectations when I was like 25.

Never dreamed of traveling the world, buying a house, driving nice cars, nice women. I've overachieved.
